Extraordinarily large effects of #SGLT2i on urinary uromodulin (unexpected & a call to reverse translational science to
understand better the mechanisms of renal benefits of SGLT2i). @grecombm @Oxford_NDPH DPhil.

We never knew what we’d get when we asked folk to send @BBCBreakfast their good news stories for Rise+Shine
We hoped for little bits of gold dust which could counter balance all the heavy news
Tomorrow something we never could have imagined from Lorna & John ❤️

New blood marker can predict individuals most at risk of kidney failure.
Dr Laura Denby, and collaborators at the University of Edinburgh and Queen’s University Belfast, have discovered a new biomarker in the blood for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
This marker identified patients at a higher risk of faster chronic kidney disease progression, which in the future could be used to inform earlier interventions to help protect kidney health.

(1) 2025 was a busy year for our policy and external affairs team.
They started the year by hosting a parliamentary roundtable on health inequalities, co-chaired by kidney patient Fez Awan and our chief executive @cranford59.
#KidneyPatient Daniel Newman movingly shared his personal story of living with #KidneyDisease.
It launched a useful consensus on how we need to collectively take action to tackle #HealthInequalities in kidney disease
